another early morning. brent has gone fishing. so early meds and wait about an hour and then set up to make cake. i dont feel terribly energetic right now. i am hoping that improves when the pain meds kick in. i didnt sleep well either. it was too hot and i could not get comfortable. i was thinking of sleeping in my chair but was not sure i could sleep there either. its very frustrating to sleep 8, 9 even 10 hours and still feel like you have not slept at all.

one of the things that happens with fibro is your teeth start breaking off. that started in my 20s. i broke it eating a cucumber. and then again some years later on valentines day i broke another and the dentist agreed to pull that one too. now they are breaking off in bits and now i have half my molars gone with craggy bits at the gum line. no idea if i will be able to afford dentures. this is such a horrible disease to have. my life has been stolen from me by something there is no treatment or cure for.

its bright and sunny and its going to be a very warm day again. 35 humidex. so wont be doing much in the afternoon. have to water this morning. the plants dry out so fast this time of year and being as they are still so small i dont want them to die.

just let 2 of the cats out of the basement. no idea how long they have been down there. i suspect since last night as brent was probably getting his fishing stuff ready.

got my first pen pal letter yesterday. it was a nice surprise. i mailed mine out to her a few days before. so she will get hers soon. it sure is nice to get mail that is not a bill or junk.

i washed up some more of the hand made items i am going to start to display on the bookshelves. i didn't notice how many pottery goblets i had until i started to unbox them. a lot of them are just singles. some are pairs but all are unique. i have been washing all the amber glass too. some of the bigger pieces will be on the shelves as well. with half of the books now gone there is room. its also time to change the tea cups in my display case. twelve cups out and twelve cups in. most of the cups are stored in the pantry. i have not really counted how many i have as i donate what i dont want any more. i have been collecting tea cups since i was about 14 or 15. i just love the shapes and flowers and the colours. so when i open a box of cups and put them in the display is like opening a present. something new to look at.

i am sure there are lots of profound things one could say about life and its meaning, but right now i live each day as it comes and hope for the best with this disease i cant expect more.

gee i am certainly rambling today. some days i dont have much to say and other days i cant shut up. and some days i would love feedback on this so i know i am not crazy with how i feel about things in my life....
